I thought about posting this in the 'Link the Drivers' thread but didn't want to hijack that!So the aim is to get from one driver to another in 6 or less links - However the links have to be from working with other people rather than teams.You can use drivers and engineers - I'd prefer to leave out team principals just because their careers with a team usually span so far so it makes it a bit easy, but it can be used if really needed Also you can't just use who their current managers are! Otherwise people like Mika Hakkinen make it too easy again.

Okay, I had to make an unusual connection here to make this one work, but I think it's valid!

1) Esteban Guiterrez test-drives for Ferrari with Jean-Eric Vergne2) Jean-Eric Vergne drove at Toro Rosso in a car designed by James Key3) James Key was a data engineer at Jordan for Damon Hill4) Damon Hill drove at Williams with David Coulthard5) David Coulthard drove at McLaren with Mika Hakkinen6) Mika Hakkinen drove at McLaren with Nigel Mansell

For mine, I select...

Jenson Button to Alain Prost

Interesting! I thought it'd be a case of going via Sutil to F.India/Spyker drivers but that also works!

Probably an easier route (maybe using Barichelo?). And the final link is tenuous!

Ericsson raced with Adrian Sutil for Sauber in 2014Sutil is currently Williams Reserve driver with BottasBottas raced at Williams with Maldonado in 2013Maldonado raced at Williams with Bruno SennaBerger acted as Bruno Senna's advisor.

Montoya was teammates with Ralf Schumacher at Williams 2001-2004Schumacher was teammate to Damon Hill in 1998Hill was teammate to Nigel Mansell at the end of 94Mansell was teammate to Alain Prost in 1990Prost was teammate to Stefan Johansson at McLaren in 1987

Quite a long time since a reply here but I find the thread interesting!

So, anyways:

1.) Keke Rosberg drove with Alain Prost at McLaren in 1986.2.) Alain Prost drove with Ayrton Senna at McLaren in 1988/1989.3.) Ayrton Senna drove with Mika Hakkinen at McLaren in 1993.4.) Mika Hakkinen drove with David Coulthard at McLaren in 1996–2001.5.) David Coulthard drove with Mark Webber at RBR in 2007–2008.6.) Mark Webber drove with Nico Rosberg at Williams in 2006.

Maybe there was another route but that was the one I could figure out without the use of Wikipedia.

I think mine was the same except for Damon Hill instead of Hakkinen. Nice work!

Right I think I've got the wrong end of the stick here, I just picked Senna and Clark at random and didn't check if it could even be done .

I'll be back with a new one later but if someone's got one to go then fire away.
